Want your legs to look amazing?
Leg makeup to the rescue.
But what is leg makeup, you ask?
As its name suggests, its product you put on your legs.
Sprays are typically waterproof and dont transfer onto your clothes.
Powder-based leg makeup, says makeup artistRae Morris, tends to sit on top of the skin.

And liquid leg makeup is easy to rub in and seamlessly blend into the skin.
You really have to rub this onto your skin, more than you think you do, she says.
It gets better the more you massage it.
Ive had many photographers tell me that it makes the skin look retouched when applied properly.
The camera lens cant even detect it.
It comes in 12 colors, says celebrity makeup artistMary Irwin.
The coverage is buildable but still looks natural.
I keep this in my kit for when models show up with bruises or uneven skin tone.
Bonus points: It also has broad-spectrum SPF 25.

Irwin has used Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Spray for a decade and swears by it.
Its affordable, easy to use, and dries super quickly, she says.
Morris too is a fan of Sally Hanson Airbrush Legs for its velvety finish.
I use this when Im covering things like bruises or darkness around the knees, she says.
It dries like natural skin, so its perfect for touching up areas as opposed to the whole leg.
Its sheer and hydrating, giving a glow rather than a ton of coverage, she says.
Its also certified organic, while also being paraben- and sulfate-free.
It looks like skin when it dries, and it doesnt move once dry.
Irwin suggests using gloves and a giant sponge if you have them on hand.
And, most importantly, blend, blend, blend.
More importantly, melanoma is most common on the legs of women.
Therefore, skin cancer prevention and regular skin checks with a board-certified dermatologist is a must for everyone.

First and foremost, hydrate.
Your legs too, Dr. Hayag says, need to be quenched from the inside out.
Here are some more leg skincare tips she recommends integrating into your daily ritual.
Exfoliate
To help prevent ingrown hairs, exfoliation before shaving is key.

Be sure to focus exfoliation on areas like the knees that are more prone to bumps and skin build-up.
